Jerry West Sends Inspirational Note to 2013 Champions’ Fallen Player

Just days before the 2013 Ponce De Leon Invitational was to begin, first year player Brooks Brown found himself laid up in the hospital after a boating accident, unable to play. His team substituted Greenbrier Head Golf Pro Jamie Hamilton and the rest is history. West 44 won the tournament. Check out this e-mail from “The Logo” to Brooks the Sunday before the tournament.

Wishing you and team West 44 much success in the Greenbrier tournament. I’m very flattered by the choice of your team name and I’m hoping that you enjoy your time at my second home, White Sulphur Springs, WV!

ABOUT US

Since 2003, the Ponce De Leon Invitational Golf tournament has taken place annually all over America and once in Europe in Saint Andrews.

“The Ponce” was a story about 16 buddies and set quite a precedent. I’ve always said that The Ponce…and with the competitive format put together by Neil Thomson and his friends, is the type of trip I would like to plan one day for all of my brothers and friends. I do buddies trips, just not at Ponce level.” –Matt Ginella, Travel Editor, Golf Digest (2008)
